Max's Journey {DISCONTINUED}

Chapter 6

We head down to class. Me still being a bit shaken up by the incident that could've been violent. Obviously my brain thinks of the worse things. Like what if he was gonna hurt me, as in hit me or what even rape me?! I push those aside tho and sit next to Paige putting my head on his shoulder. Im so grateful that he was there, like seriously what if he killed me? What if Paige wasn't there? I shiver. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah im fine just thinking of what Danny's motives were...like what was he gonna do..." he says looking down at me on his shoulder.

"Dont think of that, darling. Everything's gonna be alright." he says pushing some hair behind my ear.

"I hope so." i say kissing his cheek. "Mmmmmmmm...i hate this class im glad you're here though." i say looking at him pulling a piece of paper out.

"Me too." he says also pulling a piece of paper out and writing down notes for science. I just sit there at doodle. "You're really good babe." he says looking at my flowers and people and just random little things.

"Thanks." i say smiling. "I would love to actually do something with them though."

"What about the cover contest? You draw the cover for the year book."

"I would, but i'd rather do something big ya know like...make the girls track flag or something or the spring dance banner."

"I could arrange something with Mr. Timson."

"Really?! You'd do that for me?"

"Of course. Your art needs to get out there lets go talk to him."

"Ok." i say clearly excited as we sneak out of the boring study hall. We walk to the main office. "Hey Timmy!"

"Hey Maxi and Paigey whats up?" he says looking up from his computer.

"Well we were wondering if we could maybe make the Spring dance banner?" I ask.

"Well Max...I've seen your art but...YES OF COURSE YOU CAN!" he says standing up and smiling as his chair rolls back. "Can you guys stay after school today to start it?"

"Of course!" we say in unison.

"Ok well I'll stay after to talk about what we want how's that?" he asks.

"Sounds perfect!" i say with a smile as Paige holds my hand smiling.

"Yay!" he says putting his arms up causing his coworkers to look at him funny and roll their eyes. "Also you guys are cute together. I knew right when you two met you were destined to be together." he winks "now get back to your study hall before she find out." he says giggling.

"Ok thank you Timmy!" i say waving as we leave and sneak back into class. "Im so excited!" i start sketching possible designs. "Hmmm how about this one?"

"Babe this is all your idea i'm her to just help paint and support you." he says with a giggle "your the boss, babe." he says kissing my forehead.

"Hmm ok. I like this one." i say picking up one of my sketches.

"It's beautiful." he says smiling.

"Thanks babe." i smile back and start coloring it to see what colors i want. Mr. Timson normally lets me just do what i want with my art and has no problem with it. I remember when it at Jessica's, a girl in the foster home along with Paige and I, birthday and he asked me to make the banner since he knew i loved to paint and draw and all that jazz. In fact he let me paint on the walls of my room. He always said to express myself in the ways i want to and i always did it by art or music. The bell finally rings and i gather all of my stuff and walk to my second period with Paige. I think it's amazing that Mr. Timson convinced Mr. Bailey to put me and Paige together in every class. It really makes me happy to see his face everyday. His ex Alexia is in a few of our classes together and always gives me dirty lookes when i look at him or looks really jealous, angry or upset. I hate that she's like that though because we were friends and then me and Paige started dating. Mrs. Armino loves me and Paige though, mostly because she's also a part of the LGBTQ+ community. Her wife's name is Janice. They've helped me through a lot at school. She loves that were together as well, her and Mr. Timson talk about us all the time. She even put our seats next to each other. She's my math teacher but also the mom i never had. I've never had a mom. Yeah i mean I've had females take me in while i jump foster homes and adoption centers but Mr. Timmon's wife isn't around and obviously my dads don't swing that way. So i grew up without a mother. Sometimes Kathrine, Mrs. Armino, and Janice will take me shopping and to do girly stuff. I love that though. She's more than just a teacher to me. She's like a mother. One i never had. Plus with her wife it's like i have two moms now. I sit down at my desk.

"Take out your binders and get out your homework and get ready to grade it." she smiles setting a note on my desk. I open it to read:

'Mr. Timson told me you and Paige are together im so happy for you guys! Also would you guys wanna have a little double date the four of us? Also would you wanna sleep over this weekend? (You can bring Paige)

-Mom-ish Mom'

I smile and hand the note to Paige and he shakes his head yes. I immediately get excited and look at her and shake my head yes and she makes a thumbs up. I smile pulling out my homework and get ready to grade my homework. Paige smiles placing a hand on my leg getting my attention. "As you can see Dingus isnt here." he whispers gesturing to Danny's desk. I smile.

"He got suspended, didn't he?" i whisper giggling a bit.

"Im pretty sure." he smiles. "You're safe with me." i smile. I feel safe with him anytime anywhere. He makes me so happy. I love him so much. I know i say this over and over and it's getting boring, but seriously i want to marry this boy.
